CTHULHU GLOVES
Created by horror author H. P. Lovecraft, Cthulhu is one of Lovecraft's "Great Old Ones," and is often cited for the extreme descriptions given of its appearance, size, and the abject terror that he invokes. Now you too can invoke the terror of the Old Ones with your very own Cthulhu Gloves! CAUTION: Wearing Cthulhu Gloves under certain astrological alignments is not recommended.
Gloves    SRP: $24.99


THE SAVAGE SWORD COLLECTION BUST #2: KULL
Dark Horse will be creating new graphic stories of Kull, and has enlisted one of today's brightest talents, Andy Brase, to do covers. Comic Book Art Gallery called him "the most amazing talent to enter the comic book field in the last decade," and we don't disagree.


Sculptor Tony Cipriano used Brase's visual design of Kull as reference, and we think fans of Robert E. Howard, comics art, and sculpture will agree that his powerful and regal interpretation of King Kull makes for one of the finest mini-busts in quite some time.


7" tall, 8" deep, 8.5" from side to side, $59.99

One of the most enduring superheroes of The Golden Age returns in this prequel to a brand-new series!
